About Lucritia
Lucritia (Ann) Sayles greets people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, mood shifts, or changes in life circumstances. She keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth, focusing on what is most pressing for each person. Ann aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first visit.
She holds a LIMHP, which stands for Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, and practices in Nebraska. Ann uses straightforward tools to help clients manage mood disorders, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.
Background and approach
She also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and the emotional effects of trauma and loss. Sessions touch on communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and problems with jealousy or isolation. Her work draws on several established methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s own goals. Mindfulness practices help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
With 14 years of experience, Ann combines practical strategies and listening to help clients build coping skills. She is attentive to multicultural concerns and aims to respect different backgrounds. Ann describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide the work.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients may connect as well. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Ann Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping each person set their own goals. In practice Ann gives space to describe what matters most and follows the client’s lead while offering support and reflection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes short exercises and simple skills to try between sessions, which work well in online formats.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic awareness skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practices are brief and can be guided during video or phone sessions or introduced through messaging for day-to-day use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will talk through goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. She tailors methods based on what the client needs and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Online therapy provides flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days, to use short check-ins between meetings, and to continue work when travel or life changes occur. Many people find these formats make consistent progress more manageable.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
